A type of savoury snack, corn fritters are believed to have originated in the Southern United States, where they are a traditional snack, although they have since spread from there.
Corn fritters are made using corn kernels - the seed of the maize plant which is also commonly eaten as corn on the cob - together with flour, milk, eggs and melted butter. There is no one way of cooking corn fritters, as they can be shallow or deep fried as well as baked. Even though they are considered to be a savoury snack, many ways of serving them involve sweet ingredients, such as topping them with jam, fruit, honey and cream.
Another cooking option is to use creamed corn instead of corn kernels, bake them, and serve them with maple syrup.
